Regional HR & People Operations leader who builds scalable HR systems driving growth across multi-country tech and BPO operations.
I am a Regional HR & People Operations leader with deep experience architecting scalable HR frameworks across Tech Startups, SaaS, Digital Marketing, BPO and emerging markets. I have built HR functions from the ground up and led remote, cross-border people operations across Egypt, GCC and Sub-Saharan Africa.
I specialize in HR strategy, HRIS/digital HR transformation, talent acquisition, and operational people delivery for client-driven BPO models and internal teams. I have partnered with CEOs and founders to align people strategy with rapid business expansion and ensured compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
My achievements include establishing HR operations in 9–10+ countries, recruiting 150+ professionals for multi-market platforms, implementing centralized payroll and HRIS, and reducing time-to-hire and onboarding timelines while improving retention and employer value proposition.
I am hands-on: I lead urgent recruitment, onboarding, payroll setup and performance systems, and I design policies and evaluation frameworks that drive measurable improvements in efficiency, employee engagement, and organizational performance.
